The Creative Change Coalition is a national coalition of place-based organizations that center people, creativity, and equity working together to create a stronger ecosystem for communities and artists.

 

Launched in the fall of 2023, the Creative Change Coalition is informed by and builds on Springboard’s existing national resources and experience working with other organizations across the country on locally-rooted emergency relief efforts during the pandemic. In response to the need and opportunity for a stronger network to connect local efforts to work together towards system change, the Coalition aims to provide greater visibility for place-based, people-powered, and creativity-centered work and to build solidarity towards shared research, advocacy and policy change.

The Creative Change Coalition will evolve and be informed and built by the people and organizations that engage with it. Learn more below about where we are starting from, or visit the JOIN US page for ways to be involved.

The Creative Change Coalition is stewarded by Springboard for the Arts. Learn more about Springboard’s mission and vision.

To foster this connection, we ask Coalition members and participants to engage in Coalition activities with:

A Spirit of Collaboration: We seek and act from a place of mutual respect, trust, commitment, and reciprocity with all our partners. We share what we have, what we’ve learned, and our goal is to create welcoming and generous environments, both in person and virtual.

An Asset-based Lens: We have everything we need. We approach challenges as opportunities, and believe change is possible, and that change is possible from within.
